• Abstract: We consider a finite one-dimensional chain of quantum rotors interacting with a set of thermal baths at different temperatures. When the interaction between the rotors is made chiral, such a system behaves as an autonomous thermal motor, converting heat currents into non-vanishing rotational ones. Such a dynamical response is strongly pronounced in the range of the Hamiltonian parameters for which the ground state of the system in the thermodynamic limit exhibits a quantum phase transition. Such working points are associated with large quantum coherence and multipartite quantum correlations within the state of the system. This suggests that the optimal operating regime of such quantum autonomous motor is one of maximal quantumness.

  We introduce and analyze a Floquet random quantum circuit that can be tuned between glassy and fully ergodic behavior. Using an effective field theory for random quantum circuits, we analyze the correlations between quasienergy eigenstates. We show that the ramp of the spectral form factor is enhanced by a factor of the number of sectors in the glassy regime.

For the special case in which the system is a collection of spin 1/2 particles coupled via magnetization preserving Hamiltonians, a full characterization of the possible operational regimes is provided.

  How to rigorously define thermodynamic quantities such as heat, work, and internal energy in open quantum systems driven far from equilibrium remains a significant open question in quantum thermodynamics. Heat is a quantity whose fundamental definition applies only to processes in systems infinitesimally perturbed from equilibrium. Heat is accounted for carefully in strongly-driven systems.
